Acne scarring, post-inflammatory texture or general unevenness — the gold-standard treatments delivered properly.
Acne and texture scarring formed over months or years — improving them takes a course of treatments over months too. There is no single-session fix, no matter what some clinics advertise.
Microneedling with the Dermapen 4 is the gold standard. The fine needles create controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen and elastin renewal — over a course of 3-6 sessions, skin texture is visibly improved.
For deeper or more complex scarring, we combine microneedling with polynucleotides (for cellular repair) or the DMK Transformation programme (multi-modality, bespoke). The right plan depends on the scarring type and severity.
The gold-standard treatment for acne scarring and texture irregularity.
Dermapen 4 with adjustable depth — over a course of 3 or 6 sessions, collagen renewal visibly improves scar depth and skin texture. Bookable directly online.
Depending on your skin and goals, one of these may be more appropriate — or we may combine them with the primary treatment.
Supports cellular repair — particularly effective for acne scarring and texture irregularity. Combines well with microneedling for advanced cases.
Bespoke multi-procedure programme for advanced scarring — combines microneedling, DMK protocols, and injectables across 12-24 weeks.
Reviews from real clients treated for scarring & uneven texture at Peonella.
"Six microneedling sessions for acne scarring. The improvement is dramatic. I wish I had done it years ago."
"Had acne scarring from my teens. Six microneedling sessions later it is genuinely a third of what it was. Liudmyla was honest about what was possible."
"Had this for post-acne scarring and the difference is noticeable. Liudmyla explained the science properly — felt confident throughout."
For most acne scarring: 50-70% improvement after a full course of 6 sessions is typical. Severe ice-pick scarring is harder. We will set realistic expectations at consultation or at the start of your microneedling course.
Microneedling is the standard for most scarring. Polynucleotides are often added for advanced cases or thin/fragile skin. We can advise on which combination is right for you.
Yes — once collagen has been remodelled, the new texture is permanent. You may want maintenance sessions every 12-24 months.
Mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. Topical numbing is applied before treatment. Most clients tolerate it well.
Mild redness for 24-48 hours after each microneedling session. Most clients return to work the next day.
